Week I June 15th - 19th Nature MythbreakersRising 2nd - 6th graders $90/wk
Do Bats really fly in your hair? Are snakes really slimy? Does moss really grow on the northern
side of trees? This week we will break all those nature myths you have always heard about.
Campers will investigate these myths by doing hands-on activities, such as experiencing wildlife
up close and personal. Other daily activities will include water activities, art focus and
reflection time (rest break).
